HENRY REINAGLE 


AMERICAN, 18TH CENTURY 


52 MACDONOUGH’S VICTORY ON LAKE CHAMPLAIN 


And Defeat of the British Army at Plattsburg by General Macomb, 
Sept. 11th, 1814. Canvas. Framed. 
Height, 20 inches; width, 26 inches 


Tenry Reinagle, the son of Philip Reinagle, R.A., and brother of 
George Philip Reinagle, the great marine artist of the 18th century, 
migrated to this country in 1810. He naturally had a great interest 
in the Naval Events during the War of 1812, and it is known that 
he was in the vicinity of Lake Champlain during the attack by the 
British. 

This canvas is the original study for the invaluable historic painting 


13 


of Macdonough’s Victory on Lake Champlain, and B. Tanner made 
his steel engraving from this painting in 1815. 

A copy of Commodore Macdonough’s letter to the Secretary of the 
Navy, which shows the importance of this Victory to the American 
cause, is as follows: 

“U.S.Ship Saratoga, off Plattsburg, September 11, 1814. 

Sir, 

The Almighty has been pleased to grant us a signal victory on 
Lake Champlain, in the capture of 1 frigate, 1 brig, and 2 sloops of - 
war of the enemy. 

I have the honour to be very respectfully, 

Sir, your most obedient servant, 
T. MACDONOUGH.”

RARE EARLY STAFFORDSHIRE FIGURES 
“SATLOR’S FAREWELL” AND SAILOR’S RETURN” 


[NUMBER 151] 


151 EARLY STAFFORDSHIRE FIGURES 

“Sailor’s Farewell” and “Sailor’s Return”. 

Two groups of figures. The first group, “The Sailor’s Farewell’, 
shows the woman seated and the sailor standing bidding a sad adieu 
to his sweetheart. In the group “The Return” they are both in a 
joyous mood. The sentiment is well portrayed in the modelling of 
the figures. The colors are bright blues, soft greens, pinks, yellows. 
The costumes are quaint and of the period. Height, 91% inches 


This pair of groups is quite rare and an excellent example of the 
best of the Staffordshire figurines. They were extremely popular 
in the old days, particularly to Britishers, since at that time as well 
as to-day, nearly one-eighth of the working men had some affiliation 
with the sea.

The “Margaret Evans”, classed by the British Lord William Lennox

book, “The Clipper Ship Era”, is a description of the black cross 
on the foresail as a trade-mark. This was carried by all ships of 
the Dramatic Line, including the “Siddons”, “Shakespeare”, and 
“Garrick”. (It will be noted that all ships of this line were named 
for some dramatic character or author.)

A COLLECTION OF 
RARE SHIP MODELS BOTH AMERICAN AND ENGLISH 


DATING FROM 1785 TO 1880 


INCLUDING SEVERAL IMPORTANT 
ADMIRALTY MODELS OF 
NOTED SHIPS 


NUMBERS 169-221 


169 MODEL OF H.M.S. “MAJESTIC”, 102 GUNS ENGLISH, 1785 
Boxwood scale model. Hull entirely constructed of boxwood, com- 
pletely planked, and lower hull with copper sheets. Trimmed above 
with baleen. She mounts 102 bronze cannon on miniature trucks. 
Stern exquisitely carved and latticed with double balustered gallery. 
The edge is enriched with Warriors, Sea-Nymphs, the British Coat- 
of-Arms and the name “Majestic”. Quarter galleries to match. 
The bow is also finely carved and fashioned with carved dolphins 
and graceful lines to the figurehead, which is a full standing figure 
of a Roman Warrior carved in ivory. The model is completely 
rigged, with all deck fittings, masts and spars of boxwood. Every 
detail executed in the finest manner. 

The after-deck is so constructed that when the skylight is lifted, 
one can see the officers at mess, seated around a table which has all 
the serving pieces displayed. The floor is laid in squares of dark and 
light wood. 

The whole set on brackets which are attached to shaped inlaid base. 
At one end of the base are two knobbed handles which control the 
broadside cannon. By drawing on the knobbed handles the cannons 
disappear. Height, 383 inches; length, 26 inches 


The Man of War “Majestic” was built in 1785, was 1642 tons, and 
carried a crew of 590 men. With the exception of the English man- 
of-war ‘Victory’, no vessel in the British navy served in so many 
important sea battles, and was so distinguished as the “Majestic”. 
She was engaged in Howe’s victory off Ushant June Ist, 1794, when 
Lord Howe for the great victory won by him was presented with a 
diamond-hilted sword. 

At Ushant, owing to the disabled condition of the British vessels sev- 
eral of the French ships were able to limp into port. The British, 
however, captured seven of the largest of the French ships. 

The ‘Majestic’ was in action under the then Rear Admiral Nelson

MODEL OF H.M.S. ‘‘MAJESTIC’’, 102 GUNS 


[NUMBER 169] 


at Aboukir Bay, August 1st, 1798, where she was in the midst of the 
fiercest of the action. Under command of Captain G. B. Westcott, 
she engaged the French ship “Tonnant’’ and at midnight the two 
vessels were still in close action. Captain Westcott, though mortally 
wounded and dying, ordered his Lieutenant not to surrender. ‘The 
dawn of the following day found the firing resumed, but the French 
were beaten and while four ships escaped, nine surrendered, among 
which was the “Tonnant”’.
